About our non-slip bath coating in Greensted Green

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

What we are called out for in Greensted Green

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greensted Green

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our full price list.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Greensted Green

We charge the same across the UK, including Greensted Green. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Greensted Green

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
